NY Tarp today
Material knowledge built over generations.
NY Tarp is a family-owned fabric business and material supplier. Customers come for CORDURA®, ballistic nylon, Sunbrella®, duvetyne, mesh, ripstop, camouflage fabrics, tarps, covers, and specialty materials. They also come with dimensions, a sketch, a photograph, or a job that does not fit a standard listing.
The company is more than a catalog. It helps customers choose material, understand construction, and plan a finished solution.
Family and business history
The NY Tarp story is connected to H.G. Maybeck.
NY Tarp is connected to H.G. Maybeck Co. Inc., a New York manufacturing and distribution business. The public record places H.G. Maybeck and the Arapis family business at 179-30 93rd Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. Public NY Tarp directory material identifies Chris, or Christopher, Arapis in the same business context.
H.G. Maybeck's public materials use the line “The people who care since 1907.” That history is the foundation for NY Tarp's family-owned fabric-business story today.
Based in Queens
Material supply and custom-work support from New York.
NY Tarp works with customers on industrial fabrics, covers, liners, bags, mesh goods, protective panels, and made-to-fit projects for commercial and institutional needs.
Customers can speak directly with the people reviewing the material, dimensions, construction, and intended use of the finished piece.
